All business energy contracts automatically renew themselves after the original contract term unless you terminate your contract with them.

This can indicate that your business electricity contract will be "rolled over" into a new annual contract at a very uncompetitive price as the supplier knows you cannot move away from them for a minimum of 12-months.   Be aware that some energy supplier’s can extend this period for up to 24-months.

Regrettably in many cases customers miss their renewal date or accept price increases through disinterest because they’re too busy trying to run their own business.  Incredibly it is not the duty of the energy supplier to remind you that your energy contract is coming to an end and that you need to terminate with them to avoid an automatic renewal. Always make a note of your contract end date and terminate your contract on time even if you plan on staying with your business electricity supplier, this way you will always be in a better position to negotiate better business electricity prices.

If your energy supplier does write to you, it is normally to provide you with your renewal prices only, and normally after the minimum notice period has lapsed, so you are stuck with whatever prices you are offered usually your renewal prices are as much as 40% higher.  These letters are often disguised and headed as follows:

• British Gas - “We’ll protect your new prices for two years”
• Npower - “Secure your prices for 12 months and avoid future increases”
• Scottish & Southern - “Electricity renewal offer”
• EDF Energy - “Offering your business more” 

Most businesses do not recognise the importance of these letters from their suppliers, until it is too late and for some customers this can be devastating to the bottom line. The letters do not say what percentage the increase is or how much more it will cost you.  If your supplier sends you a renewal offer, look at it immediately, our advice is to reject the offer by sending a termination letter to your supplier. This will guarantee that you are not locked in on the renewal prices and free to shop around for a better deal.

If you forget to terminate your renewal offer from your existing energy supplier within the requisite termination window the supplier will consider it as an implicit and unconditional acceptance for another contract term.  If you do nothing you are accepting their new contract.  You will not be able to shop around for a better deal instead, stuck on higher prices weather you like it or not.

To avoid your current supplier from automatically renewing your contract you are required to give them notice in writing or by email of your intention to cancel your current contract when it finishes. A termination letter is the best way for you to give this cancellation notice. We strongly advise that you refer to your original contract terms & conditions or contact your supplier to establish where this letter should be sent.  This will also confirm the minimum period of notice that the supplier requires normally between 30 and 120-days is standard.  It is always prudent to send this letter recorded delivery, as suppliers will often claim that they haven’t received your termination letter.

If you send in your termination letter your current business electricity supplier will continue to supply your energy up until the day your current contract ends. If you switch to a better deal your new energy supplier will supply you from your contract renewal date onwards.

Business electricity prices are a major concern for all businesses these days,  especially when your company uses business electricity and business gas as an integral part in running the business like restaurants, takeaways, manufacturers, and nursing homes where heating is a big factor. Then there are shops that run a lot of fridges that run continuously for these types of situation you have other factors to consider the main one being, meter type.

Electricity Meter Type

There are different types of meters for different kinds of use the two most common meters are 03 and 04 profile. The 03 meter is your normal business meter with one flat rate and standing charge, so no matter what time of the day it is you will pay the same price for your business electricity. 04 meter has a day rate a night rate and some times a week end rate. Pubs are a good example where all three rates are used as they have different opening times and busy on the weekends. Now if you have fridges, machinery running all day and night then you might want to consider a two rate system where you have a day rate and a night rate. The day rate could be 7.23 pence per Kwh and the night can be cheap as 3.56 pence per Kwh so you see the night rate will reduce your business electricity bill by a considerable amount.

Energy Advice That's Right for Your Business

Having the wrong meter type for your business can be 20% more expensive before we even look at your business electricity tariffs.

Business Energy Termination Notice

One of the most important aspects of your business electricity contract is knowing your termination period, get this wrong and this could cost your business 50% in higher bills for the next 12 months and in some case as long as 2 years. Always remember it is not up to the supplier to inform you your business electricity or business gas contract is up for renewal it is your own responsibility as stated in your energy contract so make a note of it. Below is a list of the major Business  Electricity and Gas Suppliers termination periods we suggest you always get verification from your energy supplier of actual termination periods, to avoid any unexpected situations.
